I'll bet it's totally delicious
Here is a reminder that ALL LIE-beral environmental policy is driven by greed! LIE-berals have only lust for power at any price- and as far as they are concerned, both the environment and the economy can look after themselves! Here is a reminder of the poisoned policy that LIE-berals will dump on us if Wynne-bag wins the election this coming June:
I thank The Globe and Mail for giving us a close look into the nightmare energy future of our province as designed by LIE-beral loons. The Globe article is presented below along with some comments of my own and my remarks are set in brackets.)
Ontario to spend $7-billion in sweeping climate change plan from The Globe and Mail
[ADRIAN MORROW, GREG KEENAN]
The Ontario government will spend more than $7-billion over four years on a sweeping climate change plan that will affect every aspect of life – from what people drive to how they heat their homes and workplaces – in a bid to slash the province’s carbon footprint.
(I say these LIE-beral idiots are supposed to be REDUCING our deficit-NOT dreaming up mad new spending schemes!)
Ontario will begin phasing out natural gas for heating, provide incentives to retrofit buildings and give rebates to drivers who buy electric vehicles. It will also require that gasoline sold in the province contain less carbon, bring in building code rules requiring all new homes by 2030 to be heated with electricity or geothermal systems, and set a target for 12 per cent of all new vehicle sales to be electric by 2025.
(I say our premier McWynnty- who has sold herself, her party and our future to the civil service Working Family Hogs has really lost it if she thinks forcing people off natural gas any time soon will be acceptable to voters in this country-not after govt went to so much effort to PROMOTE natural gas as a clean alternative! Wynne-bag now denies having such thoughts but we can guess her current main thought-after such adverse public reaction to ending natural gas heating- is how to defuse public anger at the prospect of being forced to dump expensive gas appliances on a govt whim!)
While such policies are likely to be popular with eco-conscious voters, who will now receive government help to green their lives, they are certain to cause mass disruption for the province’s automotive and energy sectors, which will have to make significant changes to the way they do business. And they have already created tension within the government between Environment Minister Glen Murray and some of his fellow ministers who worry he is going too far.
The many new programs will be paid for out of revenue from the province’s upcoming cap-and-trade system, which is expected to be approved by the legislature this week and come into effect at the start of next year. Together, the cap-and-trade system and the action plan are the backbone of the province’s strategy to cut emissions to 15 per cent below 1990 levels by 2020, 37 per cent by 2030 and 80 per cent by 2050.
(I say there is no doubt we need to be more green but we MUST make LOGICAL changes. Your grandmother needs her old car more than a Working Family Hog needs a riding mower that spits out more carbon in 5 minutes than a modern car running on the highway for an hour! The waitress driving home from a late shift because she is not safe on the street late in the evening needs her gasoline car more than some Hog needs a bass boat that can do 60 MILES per hour! The night shift worker living in any smaller town that either does not have public transit or which has transit but shuts it down at 9pm needs his car so he can get to work more than a Hog needs an electric `bubble system` running ALL WINTER to ensure that ice does not build up around his Muskoka dock and damage all that expensive cedar decking!
In the nine months after the 9/11 terror attack when TWENTY-FIVE percent of the worlds airline fleets were grounded- there WAS A MEASURABLE IMPROVEMENT in air quality! Airplanes are the most fuel hungry machines on the planet and it takes LESS fuel to drive an SUV to Florida than it does to FLY there. Given that about one third of Cdns cannot afford a holiday at all; and that the majority of people in filthy airplanes are civil service Hogs and their political allies-we must ask if it would not be easier to clean our air simply by cutting back on gravy for Hogs?
Less Hog gravy means they buy smaller houses, buy more fuel efficient cars and walk more often AND they FLY A WHOLE LOT LESS! The 9/11 attacks proved it-we can CLEAR the air by flying less so why screw up our entire economy when balancing our books and ending deficit financing of the Hog gravy train is more effective? PLUS the balanced books approach means that those who have the BIGGEST carbon foot print will be required to make the biggest changes while those who are already greenest will not be crushed under LIE-beral carbon crap!)
Highlights of the liberal plan include:
$3.8-billion for new grants, rebates and other subsidies to retrofit buildings, and move them off natural gas and onto geothermal, solar power or other forms of electric heat. Many of these programs will be administered by a new Green Bank, modeled on a similar agency in New York State, to provide financing for solar and geothermal projects.
(I say we have already established that solar and wind power are simply NOT viable here in Ontari-owe-the sun don’t shine often enough and it’s usually windless when its either hottest or coldest-meaning that mouldy green energy is most efficient in spring and fall when you DON’T WANT IT!)
(As for geothermal energy-oh great-a hugely labour intensive complicated computerized system designed by a bunch of govt airheads! Does anybody remember those plastic water pipe and aluminum wiring and urea formaldehyde insulation disasters-all formerly ENCOURAGED by govt that wanted to be green! Given govt history, what could possibly go wrong with this fairly new-never tried on a mass scale before and costly to instal geothermal energy? Geothermal involves a whole lot of digging and what is the carbon foot print for that? Versus what savings?And what are the long term maintenance costs? And what service life and what replacement costs? And nobody knows the answers-but YOU may find out in the middle of some cold winter when your geothermal shit breaks down thanks to a pipe failure 30ft underground! Or the failure of a swiftly gone obsolete motherboard that was coordinating the system! WE all know how long modern appliances last-do you want to bet these EXPENSIVE geothermal things wont fail and let the pipes in your house freeze while techies argue over how to repair the mess?)
(It requires massive digging to get down to a level BELOW the frost line and into an area of earth where the ground is always warm enough to provide the heat needed for the system-has govt not noticed that much of Ontari-owe is built on bedrock? But then govt doesn’t give a shit for anybody outside Toronto as they don’t vote LIE-beral anyway!)
(And has govt not noticed that many urban lots are rather TINY and there isn’t room enough to do the amount of digging needed unless you are tearing up such a a big hole that your neighbours yard in danger of sliding into YOUR hole in wet weather?)
$285-million offered for electric vehicle incentives. These include a rebate of up to $14,000 for every electric vehicle purchased; up to $1,000 to install home charging; taking the provincial portion of the HST off electric vehicle sales.
(I point out that few of our kids and virtually ALL renters will be EXCLUDED from taking advantage of these subsidies since most kids these days are struggling with McJobs and cannot afford a car anyway-however their taxes WILL be used to subsidize the already over paid civil service Working Family Hogs who WILL be encouraged to buyg these heavily subsidized electric cars AND who will also be taking advantage of govt grants for home charging stations. And how long before govt buildings have their own charging stations supplied to govt workers at low or No cost? LIE-berals have already made mention of their desire to see charging stations at govt offices and LCBO stores and etc- soon free charging for Hogs will be juts another perk on the gravy train! LIE-berals have demonstrated that there is no pot of gravy too costly not to be offered to their Hog supporters-its all a massive racket designed to keep Hogs happy even as Ontari-owe economy BURNS under the weight of LIE-beral taxes!)
Govt will also offer an extra subsidy program for low– and moderate-income households to get older cars off the road and replace them with electric.
(I point out that old folks on tax ravaged fixed incomes DON’T buy new vehicles-they will just use the current one less and less till govt forces our old folks to start walking! And if they fall and break a hip...well....good luck in our LIE-beral starved health care system!)
Govt also will be offering free overnight electricity for charging electric vehicles.
(But govt does not say where the `free` charging stations will be located and we have to assume the `fix` will be in with locations chosen that best suit the Hogs!)
===========================================================
The province will also build more charging stations at government buildings, including LCBO outlets, and consider making electrical vehicle plug-ins mandatory on all new buildings.
(I say isnt that nice-govt will GIVE away electricity to Hog alcoholics at the LCBO!)
The plan sets targets of expanding electric vehicle sales to 5 per cent of all vehicles sold by 2020, up to 12 per cent by 2025, and aiming to get an electric or hybrid vehicle in every multi-vehicle driveway by 2024, a total of about 1.7 million cars.
(I say its too bad that govt apparently has NOT made any calculations regarding the carbon footprint of manufacturing and then disposing of a mass of batteries loaded with poisonous and very caustic chemicals. Govt wants electric cars for the sake of the sales revenue-more HST means MORE GRAVY for HOGS! ITS NOTHING to do with cleaner air! And it wont bother them to have a lot of current drivers forced off the road-it will mean happy motoring for the remaining drivers-and most of those will be HOGS!)
(But that’s govt for you-no need for simple solutions- like cutting deficits- that are fair to the majority when there is so much gravy to be gained by screwing people with complicated carbon scams THAT WON”T CLEAR THE AIR-just your wallets!)
